DK has the unique ability to both initiate important activities and pull people together to get it done. She believes deeply in social change, and is active in all aspect of her life, from the small details of her home to her new project "Citizen Me" in education children in issues of democracy.
She is welcoming and generous about the neighborhood she so dearly loves, and she shows others how they can be a part of it, in their own ways, without imposing. She is, to many, a caring and devoted friend, mentor, colleague, and neighbor. She co-founded The Hill (Journal of Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Wallabout), co-founded and is organizing the Greene Hill Food Co-op, and volunteers on many boards. She is a bee keeper and teacher at Pratt.
Founded in 1942, the Catherine McAuley High School in East Flatbush was once a convent whose rooms, over time, were left empty. Today, as a model in-city boarding program, the rooms are full again with young women gaining an "education for life."
